JACKRABBIT NAME: Fundamentals JACKRABBIT PROGRAM JACKRABBIT NAME: FUNdamentals JACKRABBIT PROGRAM MY TRAIL ETIQUETTE PROMISE If I practise good trail etiquette it will make skiing more fun for everyone! I will call out “track” or move to the left and go around slower skiers when I overtake them. I will move to the right and let faster skiers pass when they come up behind me. I will pass to the right if I meet another skier head on. I will move to the side and wait until the other skier passes if a trail is too narrow for two skiers. I will remember that skiers coming down a hill have the right of way. If I need to stop, or if I fall, I will move off the trail to allow clear passage for other skiers. I will move off the trail if I want to visit with my ski-friends. I will not take my pets on the ski trails unless the trail has been designated for use by pets (i.e. K-9 trail). I will not litter and I will pack out what I packed in. I will respect the custom and say a friendly ‘hello’ when passing other skiers. I will obey the trail signs and ski in designated areas only.

The outdoors is a wonderful place to be in winter! I can play on skis with my new ski-friends! I will be warmer if I wear mitts (rather than gloves) and keep my toque on! I must never block the ski trail! If I fall, I should get off the track as quickly as possible to clear the way. If I stop on a hill, I must step to the side. I must be careful not to ski over gravel or anything else that could damage the bottom of my skis! How to carry my equipment when I have to carry it myself. I should put my skis and poles where they won’t be stepped on when they are not in use! How to store my skis after I have been skiing. I should take a snack in a waist pack when I go skiing – a multi-grain bar, dry fruit and nut mix (gorp), or a couple of cookies. And of course, I must carry out all garbage. How to compare types of snow: crystals and grains. I learned that the points on snow crystals interlock. I learned that a snowflake is frozen water in the air!

I should take my water bottle when I go skiing because it is important to drink lots, especially during exercise. Good technique will help me to ski fast. Relays, sprints and similar speed “games” are a lot of fun! It is important to get my muscles “warmed up” before skiing fast, playing games or practising skills that require quick movements.

  • Foundations of Excellence
    Foundations of Excellence Annual Report 2004-2005 Message to Stakeholders It is our firm belief that the true value of sport to Canadian society will only be realized if our sport system is anchored on a strong ethical foundation. We know Canadians invest in sport because they believe sport can and should contribute to our society. Canadians want their sport system, from the backyard rinks to the world stage, to build character and ethical behaviours through the promotion and reflection of a core set of Canadian values. Sport built on these values can and will enrich the lives of those who participate. But just as importantly, sport can build better communities and a stronger, more united country. Sport tainted by unethical behaviour, such as doping or violence, will have a negative impact on those who participate and on their communities, and ultimately lead to a loss of public confidence and support. The Canadian Sport Policy process and the subsequent National Strategy for Ethical Conduct in Sport (the True Sport Strategy) have defined the key sport values as fairness, inclusion, excellence and fun. These values relate to how we prepare our athletes, and they relate to our decisions and approaches to the pursuit of excellence in sport. How we as Canadians pay attention to ethics in sport is therefore very much at the heart of the CCES mandate. It is in fact our core business. The past year has seen the CCES help put in place important ethical foundations that we believe will both protect the integrity of Canadian sport values and also ensure that our sport system delivers tremendous value to individuals, communities and to our collective identity as Canadians.

    Media Release Friday, February 19, 2016 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BC takes the lead and Beatty Moves into First at 2016 Haywood NorAm/Buff Sprint Western Canadian Cross Country Ski Championships Prince George, BC – Over 250 skiers from across Canada participated today in the first race day of the 2016 Haywood Noram Western Canadian Cross Country Ski Championships hosted by the Caledonia Nordic Ski Club. Mike Norton, Acting Race Director for Cross Country Canada says “it was an awesome day at the Otway Nordic Centre today. Great weather and great conditions”. Norton went on to say that “although conditions are thought to be marginal by the local organizing committee standards, Otway was far better than most of the World Cup venues in Europe this year”. In the Open Men’s category, Russell Kennedy from the Canmore Nordic Club nudged out NorAm Distance leader Kevin Sandau of the Alberta World Cup Academy by three tenths of a second. Kennedy skied the 10km Free Technique race in 22.19.1. Michael Somppi of the National Development Centre in Thunder Bay (NDC-TBay), Ontario was third 2.4 seconds behind the leader. Andy Shields (NDC-T-Bay) and Jesse Cockney, a native of Canmore, and skiing with the Pierre Harvey Training Centre and the National Ski Team, rounded out the top five men.

  • XV Olympic Winter Games Organizing Committee
    PREFACE The City of Calgary Archives is a section of the City Clerk's Department. The Archives was established in 1981. The description system currently in use was established in 1991. The Archives Society of Alberta has endorsed the use of the Bureau of Canadian Archivists' Rules for Archival Description as the standard of archival description to be used in Alberta's archival repositories. In acting upon the recommendations of the Society, the City of Calgary Archives will endeavour to use RAD whenever possible and to subsequently adopt new rules as they are announced by the Bureau. The focus of the City of Calgary Archives' descriptive system is the series level and, consequently, RAD has been adapted to meet the descriptive needs of that level. RAD will eventually be used to describe archival records at the fonds level. The City of Calgary Archives creates inventories of records of private agencies as the basic structural finding aid to private records. Private records include a broad range of material such as office records of elected municipal officials, records of boards and commissions funded in part or wholly by the City of Calgary, records of other organizations which function at the municipal level, as well as personal papers of individuals. All of these records are collected because of their close relationship to the records of the civic government, and are subject to formal donor agreements. Personal papers, included in the general category of Private Records, are described in Registers. These Registers are similar in purpose and content to an inventory, but take into account the characteristics which distinguish such collections from records.

  • 2006—2007 Values
    V ALUES- BASED SPORT 2006—2007 Message to Stakeholders The mission of the CCES is “to foster ethical sport for all Canadians”. It is our firm belief therefore that increased participation in sport and the pursuit of excellence in sport should not be seen as strange bedfellows – both can and should be compatible, highly valued goals within the Canadian sport system. In fact, they must be seen as part of one integrated sport system in Canada that springs from the same set of shared values. At the CCES, our vision for a values-based sport system in Canada is one that helps to build and enrich communi- ties by providing a safe, welcoming and rewarding envi- ronment for all participants at all levels of sport. Paul Melia— CEO & President We believe that the key to this vision for fair and ethical sport, whether pursued in community pools, rinks and fields or on the world stage, is the shared values they both rest on. In fact the value of sport itself, to those who play and the communities that support them, also comes from our shared values. Canada’s ethics strategy, True Sport, is giving expression to our shared values of fairness, excellence, inclusion and fun. This is good sport and it is the kind of sport Canadians have told us they want. This annual report describes the contribution of the CCES to Canada’s True Sport Strat- egy through our work in three interconnected and important areas. First, we are ‘thought leaders’ in the business of ethical sport, speaking out on a wide range of ethical issues from, for example, doping in professional sport to violence in hockey to the wearing of hijabs in soccer.
